Hi Markus,

go back in the archives and you'll find a long thread on building a rich 
client with <insertyourfavouritehypedtechnologyhere>.

If you're interested in a project for TYPO3, I'd say go for a proper 
Live/Production Environment because adding another BE is is reinventing 
the wheel without any benefits:

1. Flash is evil. Accessibility is bad to impossible, bandwith (I just 
checked out that laszlo stuff) and CPU usage is horrible. Availability 
on non-mainstream machines and OSes is bad.

2. JAVA is not quite as evil, but still adds a requirement TYPO3 does 
not have now.

3. If you want to improve usability, consider improving the current BE 
(maybe with Ajax, although a lot of that is not really cross-browser but 
IE/Mozilla only) where it seems useful rather than implementing /typo3 
from scratch.

Greetings,
Michael
